As the adoption of intelligent applications in the Retail industry grows, so do their technology requirements. This creates challenges for store operators to navigate the deployment and maintenance of hardware, applications, and management tools at locations without a dedicated IT staff. Along with the complexity of solutions, these operators are dealing with a wide range of installation scenarios, specific to the products or services they offer.
Purpose-built edge systems, such as Supermicro’s Fanless servers powered by Intel® Xeon D® processors, provide a secure and rugged platform that can be deployed where conventional servers cannot. These systems, along with our broad portfolio of short-depth rackmount systems, can be combined with the Reliant Platform by Acumera, a secure, cost-effective, and central cloud managed solution to automate delivery and management of applications, networking, and security controls either in-store or in the cloud.
Join this webinar to hear how these solutions are currently employed across thousands of locations, simplifying Edge IT for many major retailers today. Speakers will include David Nielsen, Sr. System Product Manager for IoT and Edge Applications, Richard Newman and Brett Stewart, Technology Leaders at Acumera, as well as Craig Carter, Product Line Manager from Intel to discuss the latest generation of the Xeon D platform.

16. Why Icelake Xeon D?
Full SoC
Fewer individual components, smaller
motherboard, complete high density
embedded system
Server class performance
Fast cores and I/O, multi threaded, robust
management, non-consumer grade, long
availability cycle
Low temp / power = delivery in fanless
enclosures
Ideal for retail and restaurant locations -
fanless is a requirement for most QSR due
to the environmental
Multi core support for both high density
micro services containers and multiple VMs
4C/8T or 8C/16T means at 1.9/3.0Ghz
means plenty of compute
Full support for both VT-x and VT-d for
virtualized workloads
VT is a requirement to run our type-1
hypervisor
DL-boost support for future ML workloads
DL-Boost and AVX-512 can support both
TF and OpenVINO accelerating ML
workloads and reducing the need for a
separate GPU/TPU
